St. Charles Parish

Less than two weeks into the official start of summer, record-breaking heat has already swamped Louisiana and much of the South. And forecasters say the dangerous heat will likely continue.

New trees are few and far between, and the ones there are struggling to stay alive. If the trend continues, Louisiana could lose one of its largest freshwater swamps and a major buffer between Baton Rouge and hurricanes.

Louisiana, despite being well accustomed to hurricanes, has no policies in place to help public schools recover from a disaster financially.

More than 72,000 K-12 students in Louisiana have not returned to the classroom since Hurricane Ida hit late last month, Superintendent of Education Cade Brumley told state legislative members during a Tuesday meeting.

Eight days after the powerful Hurricane Ida made landfall, it rained in St. Charles Parish, which for some residents was a welcome break from the sweltering temps. But not for Todd Benoit, whose destroyed Hahnville home was taking on more damage as the rain poured onto the lot.
